Mindgames Scrabble Premier League: D’Warriors Open Camp, Unveil Kits

The current season of the Mindgames Scrabble Premier League (MSPL) will hit its crescendo this weekend with teams getting set for the grand finale in Lagos.

Top flyers Tekena Drones reigns high as Division A leader but nudging closely is the Supremes while Bulldozers, Hurricanes, Word Crafts and Phoenix completed the table.

While in Division B, the D’Warriors who tops that tier, have opened camp on October 3 in preparation for a testy affair in the coming crucial weekend.

The MSPL Scrabble League will be concluded on October 6 and 7 when all teams in the two divisions battle over 19 rounds of games in Lagos where winners will be determined.

D’Warriors which includes Okagbue Ajuluchukwu, Osifor Whiskey, Oghenekaro Onakpogbe, Khaleel Adedeji and Qamar Adebowale while Okim Eugene is expected to join later at Kentade one of the most active clubs in Lagos.

Earlier, three of the players were actively involved in the 2023 Lekki Scrabble Classics as a way of getting primed for the challenges ahead.

At the camp, players will face off against one another with possible friendlies against other teams.

Meanwhile, a fresh level has been added to motivate the players with the unveiling of blazer jackets by the management.

The maroon-coloured outfits will complement the uniqueness of the club as they bring panache to the only Scrabble league in the world.

Adedeji who is a player/manager stated ‘This is our own way for keeping our team focused ahead of this final weekend where we can’t leave anything to chance. We know how unpredictable Scrabble is but with the findings of our backend research, we have decided to put some of these measures into place as a way of getting optimum performance from the team.’

“We are glad that we have led the Division from the first weekend in Lagos last February. We took that lead to Abuja and sustained it before we had to consolidate our position in Benin. So, we intend to finish strong, and we believe that with luck on our side, we shall be victorious and gain promotion to Division A.’

He appreciated all members of the team for the achievements made so far.

D’Warriors enjoy a 22-point- a four-win advantage over second-placed Anagrammers.
